Teen Gothic

Ey up all,

This is something thats been on my mind for awhile and I dont think its just within the goth scene but hear me out.

I have discussed this with my friends that confirmed it and also once with a large goth youtuber (AB) during a live stream through chat.

So I want to see if any of you, perhaps more so during your youth reduced your accent to not sound like the people around you, this could be because you disliked your local dialect or for where I am from, to not sound like the local chavs.

other more out there reasons maybe influences from band members, to sound more smart, or influences for say in UK to sound like charters from movies who spoke "proper" English with a london / posh dialect, or maybe you moved and had issues being understood.

I hope this makes sense, the main point im trying to ask is, did you change your dialect due to not liking your own? because generally within the scene I have noticed most folk are quite well spoken.

Again i have spoke to a few people about this and a few certinly have confirmed it.

I am researching it for my own video for youtube.

​

Thank you all.

I don't know if this post sounds strange, I hope not I'm a woman in my early 30s, have been part of the subculture since I was 16 but unfortunately, due to depression and other mental health problems that got worse when I was 19 I completely isolated myself and now I have no one. I was wondering if any European goths or from anywhere else ( I'm in Portugal) would like to chat and try to be friends. I'm trying to break free from this depression but it's hard when you have no one to talk and share your interests with.

So I’ve taken it upon myself to edit the goth part of Wikipedia and edit the pages that aren’t goth bands. I haven’t heard of some of these bands, so I’ll need a bit of help on this. I’m trying to stop the spreading of misinformation. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gothic_rock_artists
